Wynberg Boys' High School has produced numerous top international sportsmen over the years.
In 1976 the Matric Class presented the school with an honours board to record the history of Wynberg's internationals - now holding pride of place in the Bill Bowden Pavilion, the heart of the Old Boys' Union.

Wynberg History: International Sports Representatives
The Wynberg Old Boys' Union is keen to receive corroborating evidence of international representation from any Old Boy, family member, friend, or sporting body to ensure any ommitted names are recordedThe criteria are simple:
- The sportsman must have attended either the Junior or High Schools at some point of their schooling.
- The individual must be in possession of official 'international call-up' credentials in the senior/open division of the sport, and be able to provide same to the Union.
- Active representation in an international team is essential, but not exclusive to South Africa.
